Nestled amongst the pine trees and just three minutes’ (chauffeured) drive from the French resort of Les Gets, lies Ferme de Moudon - one of France’s most desirable chalets.
The 17th-century farm building was transformed into the epitome of sophistication by London designer Nicky Dobree in 2004, expertly blending original timbers with modern furnishings and artwork and softening rustic antique furniture with tweed sofas and cashmere throws.

Sleeping up to ten, inside the chocolate box exterior you'll find a sauna, two living areas, and an open-plan kitchen (where the chef will prepare your exquisite dinner).
If you manage to prise yourself away from the chalet and get onto the slopes you can ease your aching limbs in the outdoor hot tub on your return.

Les Gets is a picturesque old Alpine village in the heart of the huge Portes du Soleil ski area, which encompasses 12 resorts in France and Switzerland.
